MBX Artists gives musicians an artist card, individual release pages and download gates, with social publishing through MBX Flow. It is a Linktree alternative for musicians who want their releases and fans at the center of the workflow. Linktree is a broader creator platform and also offers social scheduling; the distinction is how the tools fit your music career.

Promote the music. Publish the posts.
Linktree’s Social Planner supports scheduling and auto-posting, including TikTok and YouTube Shorts. MBX Artists includes MBX Flow publishing alongside its music tools, with social and community destinations such as Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord and Telegram. Choose by your release workflow and required formats; MBX Flow’s current network catalog does not list TikTok or direct YouTube publishing.
A schedule that brings them there
The artist plans include MBX Flow’s queue and scheduler. Pro adds Smart Revival, Evergreen Library, Twitch Live Alerts, YouTube Auto Promotion, RSS and WordPress workflows.
Explore MBX Flow publishing →Publishing destinations include Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord and Telegram. Availability depends on the network, account type, connection setup and content format. Check the complete network list and setup requirements and current account allowances and X Credits.
From Pro, you can also use Claude, ChatGPT and connected apps to work with your MBX Flow queue. Music-service links on a release page and social publishing destinations are different capabilities.
MBX Artists vs Linktree
Look beyond the first screen of your bio link. A musician may need a page for a single, a gated DJ edit and a tour calendar; another creator may depend on courses, digital sales or Instagram replies. Map the pages and actions your visitors use, then test the week of social content that sends people to them.
On small screens, scroll the table horizontally to compare both columns.

Why consider MBX Artists?
Build the page around the artist
Enter the artist bio, photo and platform links once, then use them across cards and releases. Upcoming shows and a release grid give a new listener context about the project, rather than making every song compete in one undifferentiated list.
See the shared artist profile →Promote the right destination for each post
A release announcement can point directly to the single; a post about a free edit can point to its gate. MBX Flow supplies the publishing schedule while MBX Artists hosts the music destinations. Test that full journey from the post to the fan action.
Explore release and download journeys →Keep the artist workflow as you grow
When you begin managing another act, MBX Manager Artists offers separate artist pages, fans and figures with a roster switcher. Review the shared account setup and artist-seat pricing before deciding how it should map to your team.
Explore MBX Manager Artists →Who is MBX Artists for?
Musicians, DJs and artist managers who want releases, downloads, tour dates and social promotion connected. If your business depends on Linktree’s commerce or Instagram reply tools, test those needs independently instead of assuming a music-focused product replaces them.
See the product tour or explore artist management and label workflows with your own release checklist.
Switching from Linktree
- Inventory every Linktree destination and any sales, email or automated reply workflow attached to it. Decide which belongs on an artist card and which needs a separate release page.
- Publish the MBX Artists card and test music buttons, show links and a download gate on a phone. Save any reports or audience records you need before changing services.
- Verify the formats and networks in your social schedule. Change your public bio link after the new pages work, and update printed QR codes or campaign links only where you control them.
Start with one release and a short social schedule. Expand after the pages, fan actions and connected-account posts work as intended.
